'suggesting' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'worshipping with no pressure' is the wordplay.
'worshipping' becomes 'praising'.
'with no' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'praising' with 'p' taken away is 'RAISING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for raising that I've seen before include "Lifting" , "Promoting (in rank)" , "Growing" , "Bringing up" , "Elevating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
